Endian solutions for
GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation applies to every organization that processes personal data from EU citizens, regardless of where the organization is based. Non-compliance risks fines of up to 20 million euros or 4 percent of global annual turnover. The Endian Secure Digital Platform helps you meet the core technical requirements of GDPR in a systematic and auditable way.
What does GDPR require?
Data Encryption
Secure data in transit and at rest
GDPR requires the protection of personal data through appropriate technical measures. The Endian Secure Digital Platform encrypts all data transmissions through secure VPN tunnels, reliably protecting personal data from unauthorized access, both internally and when transferring to external systems.
Access Control
Verify and document every access
Only authorized individuals may access personal data. The Endian Switchboard implements role-based access rights and multi-factor authentication: each remote session is individually authorized, fully recorded and centrally managed. This meets GDPR requirements for auditability and data access control.
Network Segmentation
Clearly separate data areas
GDPR requires that personal data is only available where it is actually needed. Network segmentation with Endian Security Gateways isolates data areas clearly, preventing malware or unauthorized access from spreading to systems that hold personal data.
Monitoring and Logging
Detect and report incidents
In the event of a data breach, GDPR requires notification to the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours. The Endian Secure Digital Platform monitors the network in real time, detects anomalies early and logs all relevant events in an audit-ready format. This keeps you ready to act and report when it matters.
Supply Chain Security
Control third-party access technically
Organizations that share personal data with external service providers remain jointly responsible under GDPR. With the Endian Switchboard, access rights for external users can be granted granularly, time-limited and fully logged. You retain control over every access to personal data, including by third parties.
Digital Sovereignty
You decide where your data lives
Digital sovereignty means staying in control: of your data, your infrastructure, and who can access it. Endian is headquartered in Bolzano, South Tyrol, and develops its products in Europe. The Secure Digital Platform can be deployed entirely on-premises, with no dependency on external cloud services. This strengthens data sovereignty and simplifies building a GDPR-compliant IT infrastructure.
